A
value judgment is a
judgment of the
rightness or
wrongness of something or someone, or of the
usefulness of something or someone, based on a comparison or other
relativity. As a generalization, a value judgment can refer to a judgment based upon a particular set of values or on a particular
value system. A related meaning of value judgment is an expedient evaluation based upon limited information at hand, an evaluation undertaken because a decision must be made on short notice.
